I love this app

I am an avid outdoorsman, hiker, cyclist and camper. I stumbled across this app while researching options for an upcoming international trip. The app contained most of the trails and activities that I was planning, and it was very detail-rich for every one of them. I purchased a one year Pro subscription, and I was very impressed with the additional features that came with it. I just took advantage of their 5-year offer, and I am very sure that I will not be disappointed. I think this is an excellent app and I recommend it without hesitation. 👍👍🇨🇦

Finally

Finally a map app that is clean, feature rich but easy to navigate.
I love distance markers along the route. Missed this when Viewranger went, I asked OS to add it but it was a case of computer says no! This is great as the team listen to users.
Love it cheers

Wonderful App

This is a wonderful app.

I have never used one before, and therefore technical support is an important issue for me. I cannot fault your technical support, which is almost instant with very timely replies and so very helpful. I cannot see that anyone would not be delighted using this app. I am a person who is technologically challenged, but thankfully I’m learning this quite quickly. so finding it easy to use. Many thanks to you and all your team.

Almost perfect

Viewranger was epic. Then it got bought and got ruined. You can tell HiiKER is developed by people that use it. Clear, easy to use, full featured, proper maps. Only thing it lacks is the way to easily download the whole country. Still, an easy 5*.

Best hiking app by far

Been using this app for a while now, intuitive route planning, great compatibility with my watch, peak bagging, POIs, multiple map views and weather overlays - so much more, this app literally has everything.
